Erkennungs-Software nach Anschlägen in den USA begehrt

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) - Software für die Erkennung von Gesichtern oder Fingerabdrücken hat nach den Terroranschlägen vom 11. September in den USA Hochkonjunktur. "Wir haben seitdem zehn Mal so viele Nachfragen erhalten wie sonst - insbesondere von Firmen, die Flughäfen mit Hard- und Software bestücken", sagt Joseph Atick, dessen Unternehmen Visionics mit Sitz im Bundesstaat New Jersey auf entsprechende Softwaresysteme spezialisiert ist.Auch Branchenunternehmen in Kanada boomen. Auf dem Flughafen von Toronto wird ein Erkennungssystem der Firma Imagis bereits seit Dezember 1999 eingesetzt. An Computer angeschlossene Überwachungskameras gleichen die Gesichter im Flughafen mit denen von gesuchten Terroristen oder Kriminellen ab. Die Methode ist allerdings umstritten. Kritiker sehen in der Verfassung verankerte Grundrechte verletzt und befürchten den "totalen Überwachungsstaat"./bt/FP/jh/

UK’s National Crime Squad Chooses Imagis’ Biometric Facial Recognition Technology In Conjunction With Serco



29 November 2001 – (London, UK) - Imagis Technologies Inc. (“Imagis”) (OTCBB: IGSTF; CDNX: NAB; Germany: IGY) announced today, at the Biometrics 2001 Conference in London, that it is developing an application based on its advanced
ID-2000TM facial recognition technology with the National Crime Squad’s (“NCS”) strategic IT partner, Serco Plc, an international provider of management services to government and industry.

On 28 November 2001, the NCS seized computers and materials and arrested suspects as part of an international crackdown on child pornography, codenamed Operation Landmark. The facial technology being developed for them will analyze pictures and match them to images seized in previous operations carried out by the NCS. The application’s key value is in enabling law enforcement agencies to identify victims and perpetrators as well as background imagery for criminal investigation and case preparation.

Detective Superintendent Peter Spindler, in charge of Operation Landmark for the NCS, stated, “For many years pedophiles have sought and gained access to images of children being sexually abused and exploited. Each image is evidence of a crime scene and the volume of material available globally is increasing daily. Police officers routinely seize tens of thousands of images and face a daunting task sifting through them to identify the child victims of appalling crimes. We are working on a national database solution based on Imagis ID-2000 facial recognition technology, which will be an essential tool for law enforcement officers in the fight against pedophilia and other crimes.”

Andrew Williams, Senior Business Development Manager of Serco, said, “Imagis was chosen for their unrivaled capabilities in the design of image recognition software and associated applications.”

Features of Imagis’ ID-2000 include the ability to:

identify an individual within very large databases of images in seconds;

link records of victims and perpetrators;

search for common background scenes as well as faces;

transmit information in a highly-secure fashion;

search the database against both imagery and data;

securely search local and remote databases regardless of their physical location; and

use imagery from any source – live video, digital/analogue photos, scanners, etc.

Iain Drummond, President and CEO of Imagis, said, “We are delighted to be playing a central role in an application of facial recognition that will assist in combating this type of serious crime in society.”

Imagis’ facial recognition technology and software products have been installed at numerous locations including at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, law enforcement agencies in the US and internationally, and at the Oakland and Toronto International Airports.
